The Top Fry Nakuru Rally 2017 will decide who wins this year’s overall KNRC championships crown with the top five leading drivers chasing the prestigious title in the motorsports calendar.

Tundo and Chager will revert to their Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution cars after performing poorly during the Classic Event in their Triumph TR7 and Porsche 911 respectively. Both drivers are supported by the Kabras Team.

Onkar Rai, leader of the Kabras Team, who failed to finish in the 2017 Classic Rally, will also return to action in his customary KNRC Ford Fiesta.

The Top Fry Rally will have its headquarters at the Nakuru ASK Grounds. The final round will be 377 kilometers long. The competitive stage, which will be 156km, will be divided into eight sections.

The first four stages will be repeated with the longest being 30.59Km, while the shortest stage will be 1.76Km. The event will run 83% on Private Land and the rest on open roads.

Nakuru, Menengai and Mogotio will be the centre of action for the rally.

Reconnaissance will take place on Friday between 6-5pm, while scrutineering will also be on the same day at the ASK Grounds from 9am-5pm.

Meanwhile, Kenya will host the second round of the 2018 African Rally Championship in March next year, according the latest meeting of the Members of the Confederation of African Motorsports Council (CAMS).

Kenya finished sixth out of the seven countries that participated in the 2017 FIA ARC series. The FIA Steward for the 2017 Safari Rally was South Africa’s Richard Leecke, who was also the Clerk of the Course during the 2017 Classic Rally.

Meanwhile, Formula One comeback hopeful Robert Kubica and young Russian Sergey Sirotkin will both be at the Williams factory this week as the former champions continue to assess their driver options for 2018.
